I was pretty bored by it. I had ZERO memory of his set the last time he opened for OPN, and I would imagine it'll be the same with this set in a week's time.

From what I could recognize it sounded like Ferraro did a lot of stuff from his release as Bebetunes; the first half didn't really have any drum programming, but he brought that in during the second half of the set.

Anyone ever listened to any of these guys? If it wasn't the same night as Six Organs of Admittance I'd go just out of curiousity.

Grant Capes, former 1/2 owner of the Echo Curio and was in Sleepwalkers Local and Obscurer is forming a new group with my buddy Dave aka Endomentrium Cuntplow, called Cessation and they have a tape in the works for release soonish. Should be good stuff.

He's one of the owners of Human Resources as well. Grant's a badass.

The Santa Ana Noise Fest (SANF 4) returns for its fourth installment to the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art at 117 North Sycamore, Santa Ana, CA 92701.

Festivities begin at 5:00 PM on
Saturday December 8th, 2012.
This event is FREE!

This celebration of all things experimental, improvised, distorted and loud offers an opportunity for interested parties to test their earplugs with performances from:

A unique feature of the Santa Ana Noise Fest is the “Noise Circle” at the end of the event. This offers an opportunity for all the performers to play together blending their unique approaches to sound production into a swirling vortex of sound.

The proximity of the date of the SANF 4 to the end of the Mayan Calendar prompted the promoters to suggest that the “Noise Circle” could be used in a ritual manner for “Opening a rift to the end of the world.”

Never heard of any of those acts, but now that I'm reading the posts above apparently Drinkey's friend is performing.

I wish I could have seen it, but I was at another show. Glad to hear it was great.

Body/Head (Kim Gordon + Bill Nace) are playing at Dilettante on Friday. I will be there.

Yeah, this is through SASSAS, who always put on remarkable shows. Dilloway and Lescalleet are doing both a duo and solo sets I believe. With Wiese opening.

Re: LA Noise show compendium

All right, this post is going to brush with broader strokes to incorporate more than just noise, but I hope it can serve as a rough guide to the "avant" scene in LA - whether it's noise, free improvisation, or something else.

Organizations and Venues to be Aware of

Human Resources - HR is a small space in Chinatown that puts on usually two to three music shows a month. They range from ambient (e.g. Tim Hecker), to noise (e.g. Rene Hell), to solo guitar (e.g. Daniel Bachman). It's almost always cash at the door and it's cheap, like $5-15. HR also houses installation and performance art. http://humanresourcesla.com/calendar-events/ The next show is Jackie O-Motherfucker and Tara Jane O'Neil on Feb 8th, and it promises to be a good one.

SASSAS - "The Society for the Activation of Social Space through Art and Sound", or SASSAS for short, is a nonprofit group that puts on experimental music shows in LA, in various venues, but commonly in CFAER or The West Hollywood Library. Artists I've seen through SASSAS include MURAL, Rangda, William Basinski, and others. They're pretty bad about promoting their shows, but the best way to find out is through facebook https://www.facebook.com/sassasdotorg or their mailing list http://www.sassas.org/

The Wulf - The Wulf is another nonprofit. It's someone's apartment in a warehouse building, and shows are always free. I've only been once but it's fucking awesome. The next show I'm interested in seeing there is some just intonation pieces presented by Ulrich Krieger (who has done a bunch of stuff, but you guys may be interested to know that he played in Lou Reed's Metal Machine Trio). https://www.facebook.com/LAthewulf and http://www.thewulf.org/

If anyone's rolling thru the Oren ambarchi/William basinski show they are playin at 11 and 12 respectively && tickets available at the door. Say hi to me I'm 6'6" prolly can't miss me. :)

Agreed. Ambarchi took the cake for me, although I had to miss Sullivan because of class. Really wish basinski went longer, either I was in a complete daze or he couldn't have played longer than 20 min.

I'd only been to Los Globos once before, and it was the upstairs section. I'm sure the speaker setup they had last night was a one-time only thing, but man I'd go back there all the time if the sound was always that good. Complete sensory overload, for all 3 sets. Absolutely phenomenal.
